Words of wel come were extended by the host, President Harry Straus and by Mayor Veime Clement. Hon.

Special musical entei^inment was provided by the Ecusta band, the quintette and John Eversman, violinist. Those At Speakers’ Table Really Enjoy Eating Main Office News By CARMEL McCRARY And FELICIA EDWARDS Well, summer is definitely here again, and we in the Main Office spend our spare time trying to think of some way to keep cool when the thermometer climbs to 85 and 90 degrees. We’re wondering just what will happen next. Joe Morris is said to have nightmares on the bus. What’s the matter, Joe, don’t you get enough sleep? Everyone was happy to see Har vey Souther when he walked into the Office. His visit was much too short, though, for he only had a three-day pass, after which he re turned to Camp Lee, Va., where he will be in school for a time. Who hasn’t seen the sparkler Ethel Snelson’s wearing? It almost matches the sparkle in her eye (or should we say gleam?). Charles Tinsley of Brevard is the lucky boy. Here’s luck to both of you. Gertrude Morrison reports a nice vacation spent visiting her people in Charlotte and Fayette ville. Think everyone had a swell time at the picnic. Office did pretty well for itself too. Ralph Russell won a $100 war bond for making the best suggestions for future rec reational activities at Camp Sapphire. We’re hoping to get the benefit of those suggestions, Ralph. Wick Andrews also won a prize in boxing. We have a new name for Betty Shuford—she is now known as Endless Belt News By EDNA ALLISON The Fourth of July picnic is over, but Endless Belt had a de partment picnic Saturday, July 21st. With swimming, games, mov ies, square dancing and a delicious chicken supper, we had a grand time; our husbands, wives, boy friends were invited, so we had the “Dreamer.” It seems that her dreams really do come true. We know of at least two people in the Office who are getting worried. We are pleased to have William (Wick) Andrews with us as mail clerk. Johnnie Jackson has just re turned from Myrtle Beach, where she spent a nice vacation. Does Steve really like to work on his lot, or does he just want an excuse to go to town every day, via Gallamore Hill? Few Lyda and Virginia also took their vacations this month. Both enjoyed a nice quiet week at home. What’s this we hear about Jor dan’s being such a good pal of Ralph’s when Ralph had a flat tire? Like to ride the bus, Fred? “He who snoops and runs away will live to snoop another day.” So, Bye Now! a “bang-up” party! Mr. Straus and others really bought something for the employees to enjoy when they bought Camp Sapphire. Dot Jones is now Mrs. Robert Hall. .She and her sailor husband, a happy couple, spent a few days in Brevard before leaving for Flor ida to visit his people. We all wish them the best of luck. Edna Mae and Addie Belle seem a little lost without Dot. We miss the girls who are out. Ruth J. has gone to her home— she’s a former inspector; Florence C., former hook-puller; Callie T. and Amanda P. are off for awhile. Both are weavers. You all hurry back. Several girls are taking vacations now. Marie and Faye are both off. Virgie, you will get lonesome with both of them off at once. Mar- ^ret Zachary is off, too. There are more taking their vacation but these are off this week. Evelyn had decided to pull hooks for a while instead of weav ing but she is back to weaving again. She took Amanda’s machine. Faye seems to draw the eyes of certain boys toward her. How about it, Faye? Nelle G. was car rying some pictures around from Germany the other day. Virgie doesn’t know which way to look. She expects her husband anytime- We wonder if Lavonne broke her machine on purpose to get to over to the windows. Elizabeth S- is weaving over in the comer noW> Mildred B. and Alma miss her hook pulling. She pays a visit ratb* er often though. Lois S. has beeB having a full week with the Ecus ta quartet Miss Shirley took Ruth J.’s pl«c* as an inspector. Lucille McCrary has gone to be with her husband- The news is scarce this time. S® long. ON A BATTLESHIP ABOARD A BATTLESHIP THE PACIFIC—Eugene E. McCt»> yeoman, third class, USNR, is ^ duty in the executive office aboard a 35,000-ton ship. His job is ^ help handle ship’s paper work and keep service records up-to-ds^- Eugene has been a member of the crew of this ship since November* 1942, and has been through nu merous actions, including major bombardments, invasions, battle oi the Philippine sea, and the battle for Leyte gulf, and the first task force raids on Formosa and Ryukyu islands.
